"One of Donald Trump’s most senior cabinet members and his Scots wife have close ties to a trust spearheading plans for a contentious luxury housing development in one of Scotland’s most sought after neighbourhoods, Scotland on Sunday can reveal.

The entity, known as the Rockshiel Trust, intends to build swaths of modernist townhouses and apartments in a coveted conservation area in Edinburgh.

.......
Linton, 38, is a beneficiary of the trust, which stands to make a sizeable windfall if its plans for 17 properties in west Murrayfield’s Kinellan Road are greenlit. The average house price on the street stands at nearly three quarters of a million pounds.

The Treasury Department declined to comment on why a series of shareholdings held by Linton in other Scottish companies have not been disclosed by her husband.

4. anyone remember

When she 'thought' it appropriate to tag all of the designers she was wearing as she left a Government Plane? Certain that the photo was deleted, or Instagram Account shut down entirely over the fact how inappropriate this whole post was.

Love how folks like this believe themselves to be above others. Those are exactly the very same people I would never want to associate with in the first place.

5. I remember that! It appeared that she was trying to use her husband's

government position to become a social media "influencer" and get money and swag from luxury brands in exchange for tagging them in her posts. And I think that official purpose of that particular plane trip was a lame cover for getting to a location where they could see the total eclipse.

6. I've seen photps of Mnuchin where he is wearing pin-striped suits.

He looks good in stripes. They just need to be black and white and spaced a bit further apart. He can tout the designer as being the Federal Prison System.
